1st Vivitrol Injection and drinking alcohol same day

My son just received his first Vivitrol injection today upon leaving jail after 16 days.  I have found that he has consumed (that I know of for sure) a shot of Crown Royal approx. 2 hours after injection; a pint of Jagermeister; and about two inches drank from a pink of Screwdriver.  He is slumped over asleep/passed out in his bed.  I DO NOT have any idea what to do or how concerned I should be.  This is all new to me and I am scared to death.

I hope he came through that alcohol episode OK.  If he does this again, take him to the ER.  He needs to be back in Rehab.  Current research indicates that a person with opiate addiction needs 30 day rehab, 6 months of half way house, and at leaset six months of 3/4 way house.  That is at least a year of treatment.
